I’m not positive, but this is probably because the Nest app has been discontinued and older Nests are no longer supported. I’ll bet those Homebridge plugins use the same APIs as the old nest app and that’s why they stopped working. The newer Nest thermostats have Matter support or I believe there’s a Google Smart Home plugin for Homebridge. Regardless, definitely a frustrating experience for users.

Each row is one report from a plugin’s GitHub issues, pull requests, discussions, wiki or docs, or from r/homebridge. Check the date and the linked thread before you buy.

In ReReHome

Once a Homebridge plugin publishes it, this device reaches Apple Home as a HomeKit accessory behind your Homebridge bridge, so ReReHome shows and controls it like any other.
